Answer:

  9, the sum of the numbers given in the ratio

Step-by-step explanation:

The reduced ratio 2 : 7 means that two parts correspond to one length and 7 parts correspond to the other length. That is, there are a total of 2+7 = 9 parts in the full length of the segment.

It is convenient to think of the line segment as being divided into 9 equal parts.

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

It is often helpful to consider the total number of "ratio units" in a given ratio. For example, in this problem, the shorter segment is 2/9 of the whole, and the longer one is 7/9 of the whole.

It can also be useful to consider what a "ratio unit" represents. If the whole segment is 27 inches long, then each of the 9 ratio units will represent 3 inches, for example. This means the division 2:7 is 2(3 in):7(3 in) = 6 in : 21 in.

Solve the system of equations by subsitution.<br> b = 4a +2<br> 12a - 3b = -6
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

infinite solution

Step-by-step explanation:

hello

we substitute b = 4a + 2 in the second expression

12a -3*(4a+2) = -6

<=> 12a -12a -6 = -6

<=> -6 = -6

which is always true

so there is infinite solution

hope this helps

Find and simplify the difference quotient of the​ form, <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bf%28x%2Bh%29-f%28x%29%7D%7Bh
Anastasy [175]

With f(x)=-10x+9, we have

f(x+h) = -10(x+h) + 9 = -10x + 9 - 10h

Then the difference quotient is

\dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h = \dfrac{(-10x+9-10h)-(-10x+9)}h = \dfrac{-10h}h = -10

since <em>h</em> ≠ 0.
